    I’m afraid this is not possible through the default iPhone SDK.

    You have two possibilities:

    1. Create an application through Open Tool Chain. I’m not very experienced with this kind of developement, but I think it should be possible to access the SMS inbox etc from outside. Drawback: Only jailbroken phones, no App Store…
    2. Create your own service that sends SMS via, for example, a server. You could use Push notifications or something to indicate when new messages has arrived. You should however be aware of, and read up on, Apple’s guidelines regarding applications that imitate functionality of built in core applications.
